Lisa Ray Instagram – So I want to express that I’m SUPER 🌸 appreciative of the surge of beautiful readers (because in my book anyone who reads is beautiful) who are sharing reviews and titles during this lockdown. You know I love to hear #ClosetotheBone making its way into reading nooks and bookcases across India. While I have your attention, here’s a canny excerpt by a gentleman called David Brooks that’s doing the rounds, and it’s so thought-provoking I had to share: . “While we’re at it, screw certainty. Over the past few weeks I’ve been bingeing on commentary from people predicting how long this is going to last and how bad it’s going to be. The authors seem really smart and their data sets seem really terrible. I’m beginning to appreciate the wisdom that cancer patients share: We just can’t know. Don’t expect life to be predictable or fair. Don’t try to tame the situation with some feel-good lie or confident prediction. Embrace the uncertainty of this whole life-or-death deal. There’s a weird clarity that comes with that embrace. There is a humility that comes with realizing you’re not the glorious plans you made for your life. When the plans are upset, there’s a quieter and better you beneath.”
